I was in Boots today(quelle surprise) and used the ACM for vouchers. Put card in and it said todays offers included points deals on fusion range etc. etc. When it came to my offers there was only 100 points for purchasing Nicotinelle. That was it. Gutted, no smile points, essential aromatherapy or sanctuary. Wouldn't mind but only had one sanctuary and one smile voucher the last time and that was it. Not as if i've been abusing them or anything.

Ok then - so if any product does or doesn't work regarding the Sanctuary products can you PM me and we'll get them on POST 1 asap! Please can you let me know what voucher(s) they worked with too? Thanks! Hopefully it will be beneficial to us all!

Has anyone seen the new No7 travel bag? It's gorgeuos but like all No7 stuff, overpriced at £20. I was mooching around trying to find something to spend my parenting voucher on when I spotted it. I absolutley do not need any more suncare or big pots of moisturiser and this would be perfect for my upcoming wedding anniversary trip, so I decided to go for it (with free wrap of course). It didn't work. SA scanned the voucher and I heard the dreaded bleep from the till. She said it was too expensive and wouldn't go through. I'm gutted! I wanted it before she scanned it, but now they wont let me have it, I really, really need it! Not enough to pay 20 quid though!

I hate it when that happens. One time the only voucher I got offered was for 500 points if I spent £40 - aargh! The best thing to do is to try a different machine. They all offer different vouchers, the next one I tried (in the same store) after the 500 points one offered me loads of different vouchers. Good luck!

Today I bought 3x smile toothpaste@59p on 3 4 2. Used 100p voucher from ACmachine. Pillow mist@1.00 and 100p voucher, so got it for free:D
Also bought yardley hand cream and got a candle free (didn't think much of the towel) spent 6.00 and received 2.50 vouchers - my first:D

Handed the SA 2x100p vouchers, but only one went through. Went back to her and she called someone over to add on the points. The second SA said you cannot use 2 points vouchers in one transaction - even if they are for different products. Since when?? I told her I'd used more than one before and they'd gone through ok, but she was having none of it. She also tried to tell me you have to use the points vouchers on the day you print them off. Despite pointing out to her they were valid until the end of the month - it was there in black and white for her to see - she still disagreed with me. In the end I got my points owing to me though:D

I couldn't wait to use my new vouchers and headed straight for the face masks. Picked 3 up (2 had been reduced) and took them to the till. Went to the same SA - big mistake:mad: she wouldn't let me use the 2.50 voucher because the masks had been reduced. I said it doesn't say on the voucher you can't use them on reduced items, but she wouldn't budge. Hmm, I must remember to give my local store a miss on a Sunday in future.

Ooooh yes!! I saw the travel bag thingy the other day and really, really wanted it...totally agree that £20 is a bit much for it though. Was hoping someone might come up with a way of getting it a bit cheaper!!!

I noticed this the other day as well & was going to try using the parenting club voucher
You could always register with pigsback & spend the points to get boots vouchers - its not like spending real money then !
